3.2.22
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.22
न, उत्पत्तिकारणानपदेशात्
na, utpattikāraṇānapadeśāt
The line
Not because of a compound: arising, the origin, kāra (कार), ṇānapa (णानप), and a place.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Examines the objects: the self, the body, the senses, the mind. The line is short. indriyaiḥ (इन्द्रियैः) from 3.2.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
